"The only trinity of saints is a small Tai Chi. He has suffered great catastrophes in his family and received countless praises. . . . He bestows blessings and relieves misfortune, helps everyone in survival and death. His Tao is crowned by all the heavens. He is kind to the three realms and has great compassion.
May the Great Sage and the Great Mercy..."
The cadence of sutra chanting continued to echo in the spacious cave. All six Qingfengguan disciples, including Li Huowang, sat cross-legged on futons and followed the master in morning lessons.
There were no scriptures in front of anyone, so Li Huowang could only vaguely read the content of the morning lesson along with his senior brothers.
Li Huowang raised his head while chanting sutras, and his eyes were focused on Danyangzi who was sitting in the front. As soon as the anger in his eyes emerged, he quickly suppressed it.
Regarding this disgusting guy, he now wishes to eat his flesh and peel off his skin, but Li Huowang knows that he is too weak now and is no match for him.
The opponent is powerful and he cannot be reckless. The most important thing for him now is to endure it and look for opportunities secretly.
This may be difficult, and Danyangzi may find him dead miserably, but Li Huowang doesn't care about anything.
When he saw Danyangzi turning sideways slightly, Li Huowang quickly moved his eyes upward, past the three pillars of high incense, and looked at the three statues of gods placed in the hollowed-out rock wall.
Three gods with different appearances were wearing yellow Taoist robes and hugging Fuchen. Their eyes were neither sad nor happy, looking at the tiny mortals below.
They don't have the slightest trace of immortality on their bodies. Instead, they look ordinary. If it weren't for the Taoist robes they were wearing, they would just look like three large-sized ordinary people.
Of course Li Huowang didn't know who these three statues were, but he kept their looks deeply in his mind.
At this time, the chanting began to slow down. When the last short verse was blurted out, a boy on the side banged the red drum three times, and the morning class ended.
All the disciples followed Danyangzi and stood up. At the same time, they pinched the thumb of their left hand with their right hand, placed the four fingers of their left hand on top of the fingers of their right hand, and raised their hands above their heads to salute the statue.
After saluting, Danyangzi slowly turned around and looked at the disciples behind him.
When he saw Li Huowang in Taoist robes standing at the end of the crowd with a calm expression, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Xuanyuan, Xuanyang has just entered this sect, and there must be many things he doesn't understand. As a senior brother, you can teach him."
"Yes, Master." A middle-aged man with a round face and a slightly chubby expression saluted Danyangzi.
"Okay, it's past Mao hour, there's nothing else to do, let's go have a meal." After Danyangzi finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back and walked towards the entrance of the cave on the side.
A young man with a gloomy expression wearing a Hunyuan scarf followed him out.
"That's Senior Brother Zhengkun. Since Senior Brother Zhengkan Zhengzhen defected, he is Master's only closed disciple. When we meet in the temple in the future, remember to be respectful. He is not as good-tempered as Master."
Xuan Yuan walked to Li Huowang and explained to him the origin of that person.
Li Huowang nodded, "Thank you, Senior Brother Xuanyuan, for clarifying my doubts. Does he also have magical powers like Master?"
He doesn't know anything else, but Li Huowang knows that Danyangzi has the ability to control objects with one hand, and is incredibly strong, able to lift a stone urn weighing hundreds of kilograms.
These are not the most taboo things. The most taboo thing for Li Huowang is knowing everything that happened in the cave, whether he said he was a fart or that he had not agreed to escape together before.
If you really want to deal with him, you must figure this out.
"He is a closed disciple. I don't know what he learned from his master." Li Huowang noticed the jealousy in the other person's words.
"One person's strength is too weak. Should I find other allies in Qingfeng Temple?" A thought came to Li Huowang's mind, but it was quickly extinguished.
Those who had the intention to resist were probably eaten by Black Tai Sui the last time, and those who are left now are probably cowards and cowards, even if they are not completely devoted to Danyangzi.
"Let's go, let's talk as we walk." After Xuan Yuan said that, he turned around and took Li Huowang towards the kitchen. "I know what you are thinking. Don't worry about the master's immortality skills. You have to come down from above. You are the last one."
one."
"As for you, just go about your work with peace of mind. Just do whatever the master tells you. When the seniority comes, it will naturally be your turn."
By this time, they had arrived at the cave where they were eating, and the other senior brothers who had arrived early had already begun to drink porridge.
He knew three of them, the two Taoist priests carrying long swords were Changming Changren, and there was also Xuanyin, whom he had met once before.
In addition to Xuanyuan and Xuanyang beside him, the five named disciples of Qingfeng Temple are now gathered here.
"The rules of Qingfeng Temple are: don't talk when you eat and don't talk when you sleep. I will teach you other things after eating." After Xuanyuan finished speaking, he sat down and drank porridge together.
Li Huowang sat down and took a sip from the black pottery bowl, silently observing the behavior of the other senior brothers.
These people all looked different, and none were too conspicuous or ugly. But sitting together with them in Taoist robes, Li Huowang always felt a little strange.
When he saw Xuanyin holding one side of her nose and blowing her nose hard against the ground, while the other two senior brothers frowned slightly, Li Huowang finally realized that their temperaments were different.
Some of these people are more bookish, while some have thick joints in their hands and feet and look like they do rough work.
"Where did Danyangzi find these five disciples? They couldn't have come from Yaoyinti like me, right?"
The empty bowls were put down one by one, and the other senior brothers strode toward the door without even looking at the new junior brother Xuanyang.
After finishing the meal, Xuanyuan and Li Huowang continued their introduction in Qingfeng Temple. They learned from them that five named disciples were responsible for different positions in the Taoist temple.
Some are responsible for managing the Taoists, some are responsible for purchasing tours, and some are responsible for raising the black Tai Sui. Even the senior ones have to wear multiple hats.
I wasn't so busy originally, but unfortunately after so many people died before, their responsibilities had to be divided among the remaining disciples.
Needless to say, Li Huowang's responsibilities are of course his responsibility. He is responsible for everything in the cooking room, and everything they and their disciples do is to help the master become an immortal.
After walking around like this for a whole day, Li Huowang finally got a detailed understanding of the entire Taoist temple from Xuanyuan.
Li Huowang kept these things in mind. He no longer had the illusion of leaving at any time. Whether he could kill Danyangzi or not, this information might be of great use.
After getting along for a day, the relationship between Xuanyuan and Li Huowang became a little more lively, and the two were walking back from the first hall.
"Junior Brother Xuanyang, there is actually no need to be so nervous. Your work will not be so busy, and the master does not make elixirs every day."
"Oh? Please ask Senior Brother Xuanyuan to clear up the confusion."
"Refining elixirs is closely related to the time of the celestial phenomena. The elixirs of some things must be at a fixed time to exert their greatest effect. For example, today and tomorrow are not suitable for refining elixirs, but the time of day after tomorrow is very good.
